The campaign aims to remind owners of their primary obligations regarding cat ownership, inform about the functioning of feline colonies, and foster respect for public spaces. It is emphasized that owning one or more cats entails responsibilities such as sterilization before six months of age, microchip identification, adequate veterinary care, vaccinations, feeding, and appropriate living and hygiene conditions.
Regarding cats living on the street, the town has authorized feline colonies, which are designated and controlled areas where animals can rest and feed. The feeding of these cats is managed by authorized individuals who must follow an established protocol.
The Town Council urges citizens not to feed stray cats or disturb the designated areas for feline colonies. Uncontrolled feeding can lead to issues with cleanliness, attract pests, and cause conflicts among neighbors, in addition to potentially harming the animals themselves.
In summary, caring for cats also means caring for the environment. Keeping public spaces clean, respecting designated areas, and following established guidelines are key actions to ensure animal welfare and harmonious coexistence.
The Town Council emphasizes that animal care and respect for shared spaces are responsibilities that contribute to the well-being of the entire municipality, fostering a more respectful coexistence among people, animals, and the environment.
